BACKGROUND

The disclosure relates to a wireless power charging system, and moreparticularly to a wireless power transmission apparatus of a wirelesspower charging system.

In general, various electronic devices are equipped with batteries anddriven using power charged in the batteries. In this case, the batteryis replaceable with new one, and rechargeable in the electronic device.To this end, the electronic device is equipped with a connector for theconnection with an external charging device. In other words, theelectronic device is electrically connected with the charging devicethrough the connector. However, as the connector in the electronicdevice is exposed to the outside, the connector may be contaminated withforeign matters or shorted by moisture. In this case, connection failureoccurs between the connector and the charging device, so that thebattery in the electronic device may not be charged with power.

In order to solve the above problem, there has been suggested a wirelesspower charging system to wirelessly charge the electronic device withpower. The wireless power charging system includes a wireless powertransmission apparatus and a wireless power reception apparatus. Thewireless power transmission apparatus wirelessly transmits power and thewireless power reception apparatus wirelessly receives power. Theelectronic device may include the wireless power reception apparatus, ormay be electrically connected with the wireless power receptionapparatus. In this case, the wireless power reception apparatus must bearranged within a preset charging area of the wireless powertransmission apparatus. In particular, when the wireless power chargingsystem is realized through a resonance scheme, it is important that thewireless power transmission apparatus is designed to have a constantcoupling coefficient regardless of the location of the wireless powerreception apparatus. Otherwise, the variation range of a transmissionpower amount to be adjusted in the wireless power transmission apparatusmust be increased according to the locations of the wireless powerreception apparatus. Accordingly, the realization cost of the wirelesspower charging system may be increased and the efficiency of thewireless power charging system may be degraded.

Thecharging schemes include an electromagnetic induction scheme, aresonance scheme, and an RF/micro wave radiation scheme. In other words,at least one of the charging schemes is preset to the wireless powerreception apparatus 30. In addition, the wireless power receptionapparatus 30 may receive power the preset charging scheme. In addition,the wireless power reception apparatus 30 may be driven using power. Thewireless power reception apparatus 30 includes a wireless reception unit31.

In this case, in order for the wireless power transmission apparatus 20to transmit power to the wireless power reception apparatus 30, thecharging scheme of the wireless power transmission apparatus 20 isidentical to that of the wireless power reception apparatus 30.

For example, when the wireless power transmission apparatus 20 and thewireless power reception apparatus 30 employ the electromagneticinduction scheme as the charging scheme thereof, the wirelesstransmission unit 21 and the wireless reception unit 31 may be expressedas the circuit shown in FIG. 2a . The wireless transmission unit 21 mayinclude a transmission induction coil 23. In this case, the transmissioninduction coil 23 may be represented as a transmission inductor L1, andthe wireless reception unit 31 may include a reception induction coil33. In this case, the reception induction coil 33 may be represented asa reception inductor L2. Accordingly, when the reception induction coil33 is provided in opposition to the transmission induction coil 23, thetransmission induction coil 23 may transmit power to the receptioninduction coil 33 through the electromagnetic induction scheme.

Meanwhile, when the wireless power transmission apparatus 20 and thewireless power reception apparatus 30 employ the resonance scheme as thecharging scheme thereof, the wireless transmission unit 21 and thewireless reception unit 31 may be expressed as the circuits shown inFIGS. 2b, 2c, 2d , and 2 e.

The wireless transmission unit 21 may include a transmission inductioncoil 25 and a transmission resonance coil 26 as shown in FIGS. 2b and 2d. In this case, the transmission induction coil 25 may be provided inopposition to the transmission resonance coil 26. In addition, thetransmission induction coil 25 may be represented as a firsttransmission inductor L11. In addition, the transmission resonance coil26 may be represented as a second transmission inductor L12 and atransmission capacitor C1. In this case, the second transmissioninductor L12 and the transmission capacitor C1 may be connected witheach other in parallel to form a closed loop. In addition, the wirelesstransmission unit 21 may include a transmission resonance coil 27 asshown in FIGS. 2c and 2e . In this case, the transmission resonance coil27 may be represented as the transmission inductor L1 and thetransmission capacitor C1. In this case, the transmission inductor L1and the transmission capacitor C1 may be connected with each other inserial.

In addition, the wireless reception unit 31 may include a receptionresonance coil 35 and a reception induction coil 36 as shown in FIGS. 2band 2e . In this case, the reception resonance coil 35 and the receptioninduction coil 36 may be provided in opposition to each other. Inaddition, the reception resonance coil 35 may be represented as areception capacitor C2 and a first reception inductor L21. In this case,the reception capacitor C2 and the first reception inductor L21 may beconnected with each other in parallel to form a closed loop. Thereception induction coil 36 may be represented as a second receptioninductor L22. In addition, the wireless reception unit 31 may include areception resonance coil 37 as shown in FIGS. 2c and 2d . In this case,the reception resonance coil 37 may be represented as the receptioninductor L2 and the reception capacitor C2.

Accordingly, when the reception resonance coil 35 is provided inopposition to the transmission resonance coil 26, the transmissionresonance coil 26 may transmit power to the reception resonance coil 35through the resonance scheme. In this case, the transmission inductioncoil 25 may transmit power to the transmission resonance coil 26 throughthe electromagnetic induction scheme, and the transmission resonancecoil 26 may transmit power to the reception resonance coil 35 throughthe resonance scheme. In addition, the transmission resonance coil 26may directly transmit power to the reception resonance coil 35 throughthe resonance scheme. In addition, the reception resonance coil 35 mayreceive power from the transmission resonance coil 26 through theresonance scheme, and the reception induction coil 36 may receive powerfrom the reception resonance coil 35 through the electromagneticinduction scheme. In addition, the reception resonance coil 35 mayreceive power from the transmission resonance coil 26 through theresonance scheme.

A quality factor and a coupling coefficient are important in thewireless power charging system 10. In this case, as the quality factorand the coupling coefficient have a larger value, the efficiency of thewireless power charging system 10 is improved.

The quality factor may refer to an index of energy that may be stored inthe vicinity of the wireless power transmission apparatus 20 or thewireless power reception apparatus 30. The quality factor may varyaccording to the operating frequency (w), the shape, the size, and thematerial of the transmission coil 23, 25, 26, or 27 of the wirelesstransmission unit 21, or the reception coil 33, 35, 36, or 37 of thewireless reception unit 31. The quality factor may be calculated anequation of Q=ω *L/R. In the above equation, L refers to the inductanceof the transmission coil 23, 25, 26, or 27 or the reception coil 33, 35,36, or 37 and R refers to resistance corresponding to the quantity ofpower loss caused in the transmission coil 23, 25, 26, or 27 or thereception coil 33, 35, 36, or 37. The quality factor may have a value of0 to infinity.

The coupling coefficient represents the degree of magnetic couplingbetween the wireless power transmission apparatus 20 and the wirelesspower reception apparatus 30. In this case, the coupling coefficient maybe determined depending on the relative position and the distancebetween the transmission coil 23, 25, 26, or 27 of the wireless powertransmission apparatus 21 and the reception coil 33, 35, 36, or 37. Thecoupling coefficient has a value ranging from 0 to 1.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a typical wireless power transmissionapparatus.

Referring to FIG. 3, a typical wireless power transmission apparatus 40includes a wireless transmission unit 41, an interface unit 43, anoscillator 45, a power conversion unit 47, a detection unit 49, and acontrol unit 51.

The wireless transmission unit 41 wirelessly transmits power in thewireless power transmission apparatus 40. In this case, the wirelesstransmission unit 41 transmits power through multiple charging schemes.In this case, the charging schemes include an electromagnetic inductionscheme, a resonance scheme, and an RF/micro wave radiation scheme. Thewireless transmission unit 41 may include at least one transmissioncoil. In this case, the transmission coil may include at least one of atransmission induction coil and a transmission resonance coil accordingto the charging scheme of the transmission coil.

The interface unit 43 provides an interface with the power supply 11 inthe wireless power transmission apparatus 40. In other words, theinterface unit 43 is connected with the power supply 11. In this case,the interface unit 43 may be connected with the power supply 11 througha wired scheme. In addition, the interface unit 43 receives power fromthe power supply 11. The interface unit 43 receives DC power from thepower supply 11.

The oscillator 45 generates an AC signal. In this case, the oscillator45 generates the AC signal corresponding to the charging scheme of thewireless transmission unit 41. In this case, the oscillator 45 generatesthe AC signal to have a predetermined frequency.

The power conversion unit 47 converts power to be provided for thewireless transmission unit 41. In this case, the power control unit 51receives DC power from the interface unit 43 and receives the AC signalfrom the oscillator 45. In addition, the power conversion unit 47generates AC power using the DC power and the AC signal. In this case,the power conversion unit 47 may amplify the AC signal for the use ofthe AC signal. In addition, the power conversion unit 47 outputs the ACpower to the wireless transmission unit 41. The power conversion unit 47may have a push-pull type structure. In the push-pull type structure,paired switches, paired transistors, or paired predetermined circuitblocks are alternately operated and alternately output a response.

The detection unit 49 detects a power transmission state of the wirelesspower transmission apparatus. In this case, the detection unit 49 maydetect the intensity of current between the power conversion unit 47 andthe wireless transmission unit 41. In this case, the detection unit 49may detect the intensity of current at an output terminal of the powerconversion unit 47 or an input terminal of the wireless transmissionunit 41. The detection unit 49 may include a current sensor. In thiscase, the current sensor may include a current transformer (CT).

The control unit 51 controls the whole operations of the wireless powertransmission apparatus 40. The control unit 51 operates the wirelesstransmission unit 41 to wirelessly transmit power. In this case, thecontrol unit 51 controls the power conversion unit 47 to supply power tothe wireless transmission unit 41. To this end, the control unit 51operates the wireless transmission unit 41 to determine the existence ofthe wireless power reception apparatus 30 (FIG. 1). In this case, thecontrol unit 51 controls the detection unit 49 to determine theexistence of the wireless power reception apparatus 30. In other words,the control unit 51 determines the existence of the wireless powerreception apparatus 30 according to the power transmission state of thewireless power transmission apparatus 40. If the wireless powerreception apparatus 30 exists, the control unit 51 operates the wirelesstransmission unit 41 to wirelessly transmit power.

In this case, as the wireless power transmission apparatus 40 approachesthe wireless power reception apparatus 30, the intensity of currentdetected by the detection unit 49 may be increased, which representsthat the coupling coefficient between the wireless power transmissionapparatus and the wireless power reception apparatus is a high value.Meanwhile, as the wireless power transmission apparatus 40 is graduallyspaced apart from the wireless power reception apparatus 30, theintensity of current detected by the detection unit 49 may be decreased,which represents that the coupling coefficient between the wirelesspower transmission apparatus and the wireless power reception apparatusis a low value.

FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing a typically wirelesstransmission unit, FIG. 5 is a circuit diagram showing an equivalentcircuit of the typical wireless transmission unit, and FIG. 6 is a graphto explain a coupling coefficient of a typical wireless reception unit.

Referring to FIG. 4, a typical wireless transmission unit 60 includes amounting member 61, a first terminal 63, a second terminal 65, atransmission coil 67, and a shielding member 69. In this case, thewireless transmission unit 60 transmits power through the resonancescheme.

The mounting member 61 supports the first terminal 63, the secondterminal 65, and the transmission coil 67. In this case, the mountingmember 61 may be formed at a single layer structure, or may be formed ata multi-layer structure. The mounting member 61 includes a printedcircuit board (PCB), a flexible PCB (FPCB), or a film.

The first terminal 63 and the second terminal 65 alternately applycurrent to the transmission coil 67. In addition, the first and secondterminals 63 and 65 alternately output current from the transmissioncoil 67. For example, when the first terminal 63 applies current to thetransmission coil 67, the second terminal 65 outputs current from thetransmission coil 67. Meanwhile, when the second terminal 65 appliescurrent to the transmission coil 67, the first terminal 63 outputscurrent from the transmission coil 67. In this case, the first andsecond terminals 63 and 65 may be connected with the power conversionunit 47 (FIG. 3).

The first and second terminals 63 and 65 are mounted on the mountingmember 61. In this case, the first and second terminals 63 and 65 arearranged on one surface of the mounting member 61. In other words, thefirst and second terminals 63 and 65 are arranged on a top surface or abottom surface of the mounting member 61. In addition, the first andsecond terminals 63 and 65 may include a conductive material.

The transmission coil 67 transmits power according to a preset chargingscheme. The charging scheme includes an electromagnetic inductionscheme, a resonance scheme or an RF/micro wave radiation scheme. In thiscase, the transmission coil 67 operates at a predetermined resonancefrequency band to transmit power. In this case, if current istransmitted along the transmission coil 67, an electromagnetic field maybe formed around the transmission coil 67.

The transmission coil 67 is mounted on the mounting member 67. In thiscase, the transmission coil 67 is provided on one surface of themounting member 61. In other words, the transmission coil 67 is arrangedon a top surface or a bottom surface of the mounting member 61. In thiscase, the transmission coil 67 is formed in one-turn. For example, thetransmission coil 67 may be formed in a circular shape or a rectangularshape. In addition, the transmission coil 67 is connected with the firstand second terminals 63 and 65 at both end portions thereof. In thiscase, the transmission coil 67 may be represented as one inductor asshown in FIG. 5. In addition, the transmission coil 67 may include aconductive material. In addition, the transmission coil 67 may include aconductive material and an insulating material, and the conductivematerial may be coated with the insulating material.

The shielding member 69 isolates the transmission coil 67. In otherwords, the shielding member 69 isolates the transmission coil 67 fromother components of the wireless power transmission apparatus 40 (seeFIG. 3). In this case, the shielding member 69 has a predeterminedphysical property. In this case, the physical property includespermeability (μ). The permeability of the shielding member 69 may bemaintained at a resonance frequency band of the transmission coil 67.Accordingly, the loss rate of the shielding member 69 may be reduced atthe resonance frequency band of the transmission coil 67.

In general, the coupling coefficient between the wireless transmissionunit 60 and the wireless reception unit 31 (see FIG. 1) is not aconstant according to the locations as shown in FIG. 6. In other words,the coupling coefficient between the wireless transmission unit 60 andthe wireless reception unit 31 is increased toward a wire of thetransmission coil 67. This is because the intensity of a magnetic fieldis increased toward the wire of the transmission coil 67. Accordingly,the coupling coefficient between the wireless transmission unit 60 andthe wireless reception unit 31 has a low value at a locationcorresponding to the center of the transmission coil 67. Therefore, achargeable area of the wireless transmission unit 60 is narrow.

FIGS. 8a and 8bare plan views showing an upper transmission coil of FIG. 7. FIGS. 9aand 9b are plan views showing a lower transmission coil of FIG. 7. FIG.10 is a circuit diagram showing an equivalent circuit of the wirelesstransmission unit according to the first embodiment of the disclosure.In addition, FIG. 11 is a graph to explain a coupling coefficient of thewireless transmission unit according to the first embodiment of thedisclosure.

Inthis case, the wireless transmission unit 100 transmits power through aresonance scheme.

The mounting member 110 supports the first and second terminals 120 and130 and the upper and lower transmission coils 140 and 160. In thiscase, the mounting member 100 may be formed at a single layer structureor may be formed at a multi-layer structure. In addition, the mountingmember 110 may include a PCB, an FPCB, or a film.

The first and second terminals 120 and 130 alternately apply current tothe upper and lower transmission coils 140 and 160. In addition, thefirst and second terminals 120 and 130 alternately output current fromthe upper and lower transmission coils 140 and 160. For example, whenthe first terminal 120 applies current to the upper and lowertransmission coils 140 and 160, the second terminal 130 outputs currentfrom the upper and lower transmission coils 140 and 160. On thecontrary, when the second terminal 130 applies current to the upper andlower transmission coils 140 and 160, the first terminal 120 outputscurrent from the upper and lower transmission coils 140 and 160. In thiscase, the first and second terminals 120 and 130 may be connected withan output terminal of the power conversion unit 47 (see FIG. 3).

The first and second terminals 120 and 130 are mounted on the mountingmember 110. In this case, the first and second terminals 120 and 130 arearranged on one surface of the mounting member 110. In other words, thefirst and second terminals 120 and 130 are arranged on a top surface ora bottom surface of the mounting member 110. The first and secondterminals 120 and 130 are withdrawn from an opposite surface of themounting member 110. In other words, the first and second terminals 120and 130 are withdrawn from the top surface or the bottom surface of themounting member 110. In this case, the first terminal 120 includes afirst terminal via (not shown) formed through the mounting member 110,and may be withdrawn through the first terminal via. In addition, thesecond terminal 130 includes a second terminal via (not shown) formedthrough the mounting member 110, and may be withdrawn through the secondterminal via. In addition, the first and second terminals 120 and 130may include a conductive material. In this case, a Y axis serves as acentral axis passing between the first and second terminals 120 and 130.In this case, the interval between the Y axis serving as the centralaxis and the first terminal 120 may be equal to the interval between thecentral axis and the second terminal 130. In other words, when aperpendicular is drawn from the first terminal 120 onto the Y axis, thedistance between the first terminal 120 and the foot of theperpendicular may be equal to the distance between the second terminal130 and the foot of a virtual perpendicular when the virtualperpendicular is drawn from the second terminal 130 onto the Y axis.

In addition, an X axis may be defined perpendicularly to the Y axis. Inthis case, on the assumption that an intersection point between the Yand X axes is zero, the Y axis may be divided into a positive Y (Y) axisand a negative Y (−Y) axis based on the 0 point, and the X axis may bedivided into a positive X (X) axis and a negative X (−X) axis. Inaddition, the zero point serving as the intersection point may bedefined as a central point. In other words, when the upper and lowertransmission coils 140 and 160 are mounted on the mounting member 110,the zero point may serve as the central point of the upper and lowertransmission coils 140 and 160 in terms of a position. In addition, afirst quadrant may be defined by the Y axis and the X axis, a secondquadrant may be defined by the −Y axis and the X axis, a third quadrantmay be defined by the −Y axis and the −X axis, and a fourth quadrant maybe defined by the Y axis and the −X axis. In this case, the firstterminal 120 may be provided in the first quadrant, and the secondterminal 130 may be provided in the fourth quadrant.

The upper and lower transmission coils 140 and 160 transmit poweraccording to a preset charging scheme. In this case, the upper and lowertransmission coils 140 and 160 are mutually coupled to each other totransmit power. In other words, the upper and lower transmission coils140 and 160 transmit power in cooperation with each other. In this case,the charging scheme includes an electromagnetic induction scheme, aresonance scheme, and an RF/micro wave radiation scheme. In addition,the upper and lower transmission coils 140 and 160 may be coupled toeach other through the electromagnetic induction scheme. In addition,the upper and lower transmission coils 140 and 160 operate at apredetermined resonance frequency band to transmit power. In this case,when the upper and lower transmission coils 140 and 160 operate, theelectromagnetic field may be formed around the upper and lowertransmission coils 140 and 160.

The upper and lower transmission coils 140 and 160 are mounted on themounting member 110. In this case, the upper transmission coil 140 isarranged on one surface of the mounting member 110, and the lowertransmission coil 160 is arranged on an opposite surface of the mountingmember 110. In other words, the upper transmission coil 140 is providedon the top surface of the mounting member 110, and the lowertransmission coil 160 is provided on the bottom surface of the mountingmember 110.

In addition, the upper and lower transmission coils 140 and 160 areconnected with the first and second terminals 120 and 130, respectively.In other words, the upper transmission coil 140 is connected with thefirst and second terminals 120 and 130 at both end portions thereof, andthe lower transmission coil 160 is connected with the first and secondterminals 120 and 130 at both end portions thereof. In addition, theupper and lower transmission coils 140 and 160 have a bilaterallysymmetrical shape about the Y axis serving as the central axis. In thiscase, the upper and lower transmission coils 140 and 160 may have theshape shown in FIG. 10. In other words, the upper and lower transmissioncoils 140 and 160 may be represented as inductors connected with eachother in parallel.

The outer connection part 141 is connected with the first terminal 120.In this case, the outer connection part 141 extends from the firstterminal 120. For example, when the first terminal 120 is provided atthe right side of the Y axis, the outer connection part 141 may extendat the right side of the Y axis serving as the central axis. In otherwords, the outer connection part 141 starts from the first terminal 120and extends in the negative Y (−Y) axis direction by a predeterminedlength in parallel to the Y axis. In this case, the predetermined lengthis a length corresponding to an extent that the outer connection part141 may be provided only at the first quadrant without extending to thesecond quadrant.

The outer coil part 143 is provided at the outermost part of the uppertransmission coil 140. In addition, the outer coil part 143 is connectedwith the outer connection part 141. In this case, the outer coil part143 extends from the outer connection part 141. The outer coil part 143is formed in one-turn. For reference, the one-turn represents that acoil extends in a circular shape or a rectangular shape. For example,when the first terminal 120 is provided at the right side of the Y axisserving as the central axis, the outer coil part 143 may extend from theouter connection part 141 clockwise. In addition, the outer coil part143 may extend from the right side of the Y axis serving as the centralaxis to the left side of the Y axis serving as the central axis. Indetail, the outer coil part 143 may include a first outer coil part 143a provided at the first quadrant, a second outer coil part 143 bprovided at the second quadrant, the third outer coil part 143 cprovided at the third quadrant, and the fourth outer coil part 143 dprovided at the fourth quadrant, and the first to fourth outer coilparts 143 a to 143 d are integrated with each other. The first outercoil part 143 a may extend to an intersection between the first outercoil part 143 a and the X axis from a terminated point of the outerconnection part 141. In other words, the first outer coil part 143 aextends in parallel to the X axis in the positive X (X) axis directionfrom the terminated point of the outer connection part 141. Then, thefirst outer coil part 143 a extends in parallel to the Y axis in thenegative Y (−Y) axis direction. When the direction of the first outercoil part 143 a is changed from the negative Y (−Y) axis direction fromthe positive X (X) axis direction, the direction of the first outer coilpart 143 a may be changed with a predetermined curvature. In addition,the second outer coil part 143 b may extend from the terminated point ofthe first outer coil part 143 a to the intersection between the secondouter coil part 143 b and the Y axis. In other words, the second outercoil part 143 b extends in parallel to the Y axis in the negative Y (−Y)axis direction from the terminated point of the first outer coil part143 a, and extends in parallel to the X axis in the negative X (−X) axisdirection. When the direction of the second outer coil part 143 b ischanged from the negative Y (−Y) axis direction to the negative X (−X)axis direction, the direction of the second outer coil part 143 b may bechanged with a predetermined curvature. In addition, the third outercoil part 143 c may extend from the terminated point of the second outercoil part 143 b to the intersection between the third outer coil part143 c and the X axis. In other words, the third outer coil part 143 cextends in parallel to the X axis in the negative X (−X) axis directionfrom the terminated point of the second outer coil part 143 b, andextends in parallel to the Y axis in the positive Y (Y) axis direction.When the direction of the third outer coil part 143 c is changed fromthe negative X (−X) axis direction to the positive Y (Y) axis direction,the direction of the third outer coil part 143 c may be changed with apredetermined curvature. In addition, the fourth outer coil part 143 dmay extend from the terminated point of the third outer coil part 143 cto the intersection between the fourth outer coil part 143 d and the Yaxis. In other words, the fourth outer coil part 143 d extends inparallel to the Y axis in the positive Y (Y) axis direction from theterminated point of the third outer coil part 143 c, and extends inparallel to the X axis in the positive X (X) axis direction. When thedirection of the fourth outer coil part 143 d is changed from thepositive Y (Y) axis direction to the positive X (X) axis direction, thedirection of the fourth outer coil part 143 d may be changed with apredetermined curvature

In addition, the first outer coil part 143 a and the second outer coilpart 143 b are symmetrical to each other about the X axis, the firstouter coil part 143 a and the fourth outer coil part 143 d aresymmetrical to each other about the Y axis, and the first outer coilpart 143 a and third outer coil part 143 c are symmetrical to each otherabout a origin (0).

Meanwhile, although description has been made regarding that the firstto fourth outer coil parts 143 a, 143 b, 143 c, and 143 d partially havea linear shape and partially have a curved shape with a curvature, theembodiment is not limited thereto. In other words, the whole shape ofthe first to fourth outer coil parts 143 a, 143 b, 143 c, and 143 d mayhave an oval shape or a circular shape. Accordingly, when the firstouter coil part 143 a extends in the positive X (X) axis direction, thedistance between the first outer coil part 143 a and the X axis may begradually decreased. When the first outer coil part 143 a extends in thenegative Y (−Y) axis direction, the distance between the first outercoil part 143 a and the Y axis may be gradually increased. In addition,when the second outer coil part 143 b extends in the negative Y (−Y)axis direction, the distance between the second outer coil part 143 band the Y axis may be gradually decreased. When the second outer coilpart 143 b extends in the negative X (−X) axis direction, the distancebetween the second outer coil part 143 b and the X axis may be graduallyincreased. In addition, when the third outer coil part 143 c extends inthe negative X (−X) axis direction, the distance between the third outercoil part 143 c and the X axis may be gradually decreased. When thethird outer coil part 143 c extends in the negative Y (−Y) axisdirection, the distance between the third outer coil part 143 c and theY axis may be gradually increased. In addition, when the fourth outercoil part 143 d extends in the positive Y (Y) axis direction, thedistance between the fourth outer coil part 143 d and the Y axis may begradually decreased. When the fourth outer coil part 143 d extends inthe positive X (X) axis direction, the distance between the fourth outercoil part 143 d and the X axis may be gradually increased. Accordingly,the whole shape of the outer coil part 143 may have a circular shape oran oval shape.

The extension part 145 is connected with the outer coil part 143. Inthis case, the extension part 145 extends from a terminated point of thefourth outer coil part 143 d. The extension part 145 extends inward ofthe outer coil part 143. For example, when the first terminal 120 isprovided at the right side of the Y axis serving as the central axis,the extension part 145 may extend from the left side of the Y axisserving as the central axis in parallel to the Y axis in the negative Y(−Y) axis direction by a predetermined length. The predetermined lengthmay be a length corresponding to an extent that the extension part 145may be provided only at the fourth quadrant without extending to thethird quadrant.

The inner coil part 147 extends from a terminated point of the extensionpart 145. In addition, the inner coil part 147 is connected with theextension part 145. In this case, the inner coil part 147 is providedinward of the outer coil part 143. In other words, the inner coil part147 has a radius less than that of the outer coil part 143. In thiscase, the inner coil part 147 is formed in a half-turn. For reference,the half-turn represents that a coil extends at any one of left andright sides of a central axis in a circular shape or a rectangularshape. For example, when the first terminal 120 is provided at the rightside of the central axis, the inner coil part 147 may extend from theextension part 145 counterclockwise. In addition, the inner coil part147 may extend at the left side of the Y axis serving as the centralaxis. In detail, the inner coil part 147 may include a first inner coilpart 147 a provided at the fourth quadrant and a second inner coil part147 b provided at the third quadrant in which the first and second innercoil parts 147 a and 147 b are integrated with each other. In addition,the first inner coil part 147 a extends from a terminated point of theextension part 145 in the negative X (−X) axis direction, and extends inthe negative Y (−Y) axis direction until the first inner coil part 147 ameets the X axis. When the direction of the first inner coil part 147 ais changed from the negative X (−X) axis direction to the negative Y(−Y) axis direction, the direction of the first inner coil part 147 amay be changed with a predetermined curvature. In addition, the secondinner coil part 147 b extends from a terminated point of the first innercoil part 147 a in the negative Y (−Y) axis direction, and extends inthe positive X (X) axis direction in the third quadrant. When thedirection of the second inner coil part 147 b is changed from thenegative Y (−Y) axis direction to the positive X (X) axis direction, thedirection of the second inner coil part 147 b may be changed with apredetermined curvature. Meanwhile, although description has been maderegarding that the first and second inner coil parts 147 a and 147 bpartially have a linear shape and partially have a curved shape with acurvature, the embodiment is not limited thereto. In other words, thewhole shape of the first and second inner coil parts 147 a and 147 b mayhave an oval shape or a rectangular shape. Accordingly, when the firstinner coil part 147 a extends in the negative X (−X) axis direction, thedistance between the first inner coil part 147 a and the X axis may beconstant or gradually decreased. When the first inner coil part 147 aextends in the negative Y (−Y) axis direction, the distance between thefirst inner coil part 147 a and the Y axis may be constant or may begradually increased. In addition, when the second inner coil part 147 bextends in the negative Y (−Y) axis direction, the distance between thesecond inner coil part 147 b and the Y axis may be constant or graduallydecreased. When the second inner coil part 147 b extends in the positiveX (X) axis direction, the distance between the second inner coil part147 b and the X axis may be constant or may be gradually increased.

Meanwhile, the first inner coil part 147 a may be symmetrical to thesecond inner coil part 147 b about the X axis.

The inner connection part 149 is connected with the inner coil part 147.In addition, the inner connection part 149 is connected with the secondterminal 130. In this case, the inner connection part 149 extends fromthe inner coil part 147 to the second terminal 130. For example, whenthe second terminal 130 is provided at the left side of the Y axisserving as the central axis, the inner connection part 149 may extend atthe right side of the central axis. In detail, the inner connection part149 extends in parallel to the Y axis in the positive Y (Y) axisdirection from a terminated point of the second inner coil part 147 b,so that the inner connection part 149 may be connected with the secondterminal 130, and may be provided at the third quadrant and fourthquadrant. In addition, the inner connection part 149 may include atleast one connection via (not shown) formed through the mounting member110. In other words, the inner connection part 149 may be connected withthe second terminal 130 by passing the bottom surface of the mountingmember 110 through the connection via, so that the inner connection part149 does not make contact with the lower transmission coil 160.

Meanwhile, the lower transmission coil 160 includes an outer connectionpart 161, an outer coil part 163, an extension part 165, an inner coilpart 167, and an outer connection part 169.

The outer connection part 161 is connected with the second terminal 130.The outer connection part 161 extends from the second terminal 130. Forexample, when the second terminal 130 is provided at the left side ofthe central axis, the outer connection part 161 may extend at the leftside of the central axis.

The outer coil part 163 is provided at the outermost part of the lowertransmission coil 160. In addition, the outer coil part 163 is connectedwith the outer connection part 161. In this case, the outer coil part163 extends from the outer connection part 161. In this case, the outercoil part 163 is formed in one-turn. For example, when the secondterminal 130 is provided at the left side of the central axis, the outercoil part 163 may extend counterclockwise from the outer connection part161. In addition, the outer coil part 163 may extend from the left sideof the central axis to the right side of the central axis.

The extension part 165 is connected with the outer coil part 163. Inthis case, the extension part 165 extends from the outer coil part 163.In this case, the extension part 165 extends inward of the outer coilpart 163. For example, when the second terminal 130 is provided at theleft side of the central axis, the extension part 165 may extend at theright side of the central axis.

The inner coil part 167 extends from the extension part 165. Inaddition, the inner coil part 167 is connected with the extension part165. In this case, the inner coil part 167 is provided inward of theouter coil part 163. In other words, the inner coil part 167 has aradius less than that of the outer coil part 163. In this case, theinner coil part 167 is formed in a half-turn. For example, when thesecond terminal 130 is provided at the left side of the central axis,the inner coil part 167 may extend clockwise from the extension part165. In addition, the inner coil part 167 may extend at the right sideof the central axis.

The inner connection part 169 is connected with the inner coil part 167.In addition, the inner connection part 169 is connected with the firstterminal 120. In this case, the inner connection part 169 extends fromthe inner coil part 167 to the first terminal 120. For example, when thefirst terminal 120 is provided at the right side of the central axis,the inner connection part 169 may extend at the right side of thecentral axis. In addition, the inner connection part 169 may include atleast one connection via (not shown) passing through the mounting member110. In other words, the inner connection part 169 may be connected withthe first terminal 120 by passing the top surface of the mounting member110 through the connection via so that the inner connection part 169does not make contact with the upper transmission coil 140.

In addition, the upper transmission coil 140 has the same currentapplication direction as that of the lower transmission coil 160. Forexample, when the current application direction of the uppertransmission coil 140 is a clockwise direction, the current applicationdirection of the lower transmission coil 160 is a clockwise direction.Meanwhile, when current is transmitted inward through the uppertransmission coil 140, current is transmitted outward through the lowertransmission coil 160. For example, when current is transmitted to thefirst terminal 120, current may be inward transmitted through the uppertransmission coil 140, and transmitted outward through the lowertransmission coil 160. In addition, when current is transmitted outwardthrough the upper transmission coil 140, current is inward transmittedthrough the lower transmission coil 160. For example, when current istransmitted to the second terminal 130, current may be transmittedoutward through the upper transmission coil 140, and current may betransmitted inward through the lower transmission coil 160.

In other words, the outer coil part 143 of the upper transmission coil140 vertically faces the outer coil part 163 of the lower transmissioncoil 160. In addition, the outer connection part 141, the extension part145, the inner coil part 147, and the inner connection part 149 of theupper transmission coil 140 are provided in opposition to the outerconnection part 161, the extension part 165, the inner coil part 167,and the inner connection part 169 of the lower transmission coil 160,respectively, about the central axis. Accordingly, the upper and lowertransmission coils 140 and 160 have a bilaterally symmetrical shapeabout the central axis.

Hereinafter, the bilaterally symmetrical shape of the upper and lowertransmission coils 140 and 160 will be described in detail. Since theextension part 165 of the lower transmission coil 160 is provided at thefirst quadrant, the extension part 165 of the lower transmission coil160 may be symmetrical to the extension part 145 of the uppertransmission coil 140 about the Y axis. In addition, the outer coil part163 of the lower transmission coil 160 may include a first outer coilpart 163 a provided at the fourth quadrant, a second outer coil part 163b provided at the third quadrant, a third outer coil part 163 c providedat the second quadrant, and the fourth outer coil part 163 d provided atthe first quadrant. The first outer coil part 163 a of the lowertransmission coil 160 may be symmetrical to the first outer coil part143 a of the upper transmission coil 140 about the Y axis. The secondouter coil part 163 b of the lower transmission coil 160 may besymmetrical to the second outer coil part 143 b of the uppertransmission coil 140 about the Y axis. The third outer coil part 163 cof the lower transmission coil 160 may be symmetrical to the third outercoil part 143 c of the upper transmission coil 140 about the Y axis. Thefourth outer coil part 163 d of the lower transmission coil 160 may besymmetrical to the fourth outer coil part 143 d of the uppertransmission coil 140 about the Y axis. In addition, the inner coil part167 of the lower transmission coil 160 may include a first inner coilpart 167 a provided at the first quadrant and a second inner coil part167 b provided at the second quadrant. The first inner coil part 167 aof the lower transmission coil 160 may be symmetrical to the first innercoil part 147 a of the upper transmission coil 140 about the Y axis, andthe second inner coil part 167 b of the lower transmission coil 160 maybe symmetrical to the second inner coil part 147 b of the uppertransmission coil 140 about the Y axis. An inner connection part 169 ofthe lower transmission coil 160 may be symmetrical to the innerconnection part 149 of the upper transmission coil 140 about the Y axis,so that the inner connection part 169 of the lower transmission coil 160may be provided at the second quadrant or the first quadrant.

The distance between the outer coil part 143 and the inner coil part 147of the upper transmission coil 140 and the distance between the outercoil part 163 and the inner coil part 167 of the lower transmission coil160 may be formed corresponding to ½ of the size of the reception coil.In addition, the distance between the outer coil part 143 and the innercoil part 147 of the upper transmission coil 140 may be formed to theextent that a position where the coupling coefficient between the outercoil part 143 of the upper transmission coil 140 and the reception coilbecomes maximized is matched with a position where the couplingcoefficient between the inner coil part 147 and the reception coilbecomes zero. Similarly, the distance between the outer coil part 163and the inner coil part 167 of the lower transmission coil 160 may beformed to the extent that a position where the coupling coefficientbetween the outer coil part 163 of the lower transmission coil 160 andthe reception coil becomes maximized is matched with a position wherethe coupling coefficient between the inner coil part 167 and thereception coil becomes zero.

The shielding member 180 isolates the upper transmission coil 140 fromthe lower transmission coil 160. In other words, the shielding member180 isolates the upper and lower transmission coils 140 and 160 fromother components of the wireless power transmission apparatus 40 (seeFIG. 3). In this case, the shielding member 180 has a predeterminedphysical property. In this case, the physical property includespermeability (p). The permeability of the shielding member 180 may bemaintained at a resonance frequency band of the upper and lowertransmission coils 140 and 160. Accordingly, the loss rate of theshielding member 180 may be reduced at the resonance frequency band ofthe upper and lower transmission coils 140 and 160

The shielding member 180 supports the mounting member 110, the firstterminal 120, the second terminal 130, the upper transmission coil 140,and the lower transmission coil 160. In addition, the shielding member180 is formed of ferrite. In other words, the shielding member 180 mayinclude metallic powders and a resin material. For example, the metallicpowders may include soft magnetic metal powders, aluminum (Al), metalsilicon, or an iron oxide (FeO; Fe₃O₄; Fe₂O₃). In addition, the resinmaterial may include thermoplastic resin, for example polyolefinelastomer.

According to the present embodiment, the coupling coefficient betweenthe wireless transmission unit 100 and the wireless reception unit 31(see FIG. 1) is substantially constant according to locations as shownin FIG. 11. The coupling coefficient between the wireless transmissionunit 100 and the wireless reception unit 31 is formed equally to anaverage value of a first coupling coefficient formed between the outercoil part 143 of the upper transmission coil 140 and the outer coil part163 of the lower transmission coil 160 and a second coupling coefficientformed between the inner coil part 147 of the upper transmission coil140 and the inner coil part 167 of the lower transmission coil 160.Accordingly, the coupling coefficient between the wireless transmissionunit 100 and the wireless reception unit 31 has a higher value even ifthe wireless reception unit 31 approaches the centers of the upper andlower transmission coils 140 and 160. Accordingly, the chargeable areaof the wireless transmission unit 100 is enlarged.

In addition, the inner connection part273 may include at least one connection via (not shown) formed throughthe mounting member 210. In other words, the inner connection part 273may be connected with the first terminal 220 by passing the top surfaceof the mounting member 210 through the connection via so that the innerconnection part 273 does not make contact with the upper transmissioncoil 240.

In other words, the outer coil part 243 of the upper transmission coil240 vertically faces the outer coil part 263 of the lower transmissioncoil 260.

Meanwhile, the distance between the outer coilpart 243 and the inner coil part 247 of the upper transmission coil 240may be formed to the extent that a position where the couplingcoefficient between the outer coil part 243 of the upper transmissioncoil 240 and the reception coil becomes maximized is matched with aposition where the coupling coefficient between the second inner coilpart 251 and the reception coil becomes zero. Similarly, the distancebetween the outer coil part 263 and the second inner coil part 271 ofthe lower transmission coil 260 may be formed to the extent that aposition where the coupling coefficient between the outer coil part 263of the lower transmission coil 260 and the reception coil becomesmaximized is matched with a position where the coupling coefficientbetween the second inner coil part 271 and the reception coil becomeszero.

According to the present embodiment, the coupling coefficient betweenthe wireless transmission unit 200 and the wireless reception unit 31(see FIG. 1) is substantially constant according to locations as shownin FIG. 15. In other words, the coupling coefficient between thewireless transmission unit 200 and the wireless reception unit 31 isformed equally to an average value of a first coupling coefficientformed between the outer coil part 243 of the upper transmission coil240 and the outer coil part 263 of the lower transmission coil 260, asecond coupling coefficient formed between the first inner coil part 247of the upper transmission coil 240 and the first inner coil part 267 ofthe lower transmission coil 260, and a third coupling coefficientbetween the second inner coil unit 251 of the upper transmission coil240 and the second inner coil unit 271 of the lower transmission coil260. Accordingly, the coupling coefficient between the wirelesstransmission unit 200 and the wireless reception unit 31 has a highervalue even if the wireless reception unit 31 approaches the centers ofthe upper and lower transmission coils 240 and 260. Accordingly, thechargeable area of the wireless transmission unit 200 is enlarged.

The outer connection part 341 is connected with the first terminal 320.In this case, the outer connection part 341 extends from the firstterminal 320 in parallel to the Y axis in the negative Y (−Y) axisdirection. For example, when the first terminal 320 is provided at theright side of the Y axis serving as the central axis, the outerconnection part 341 may extend at the right side of the Y axis servingas the central axis. In other words, the outer connection part 341starts from the first terminal 320 and extends in parallel to the Y axisin the negative Y (−Y) axis direction by a predetermined length. In thiscase, the predetermined length is a length corresponding to an extentthat the outer connection part 341 may be provided only at the firstquadrant without extending to the second quadrant.

The first outercoil part 343 a may extend to an intersection between the first outercoil part 343 a and the X axis from a terminated point of the outerconnection part 341. In other words, the first outer coil part 343 aextends in parallel to the X axis in the positive X (X) axis directionfrom the terminated point of the outer connection part 341. Then, thefirst outer coil part 343 a extends in parallel to the Y axis in thenegative Y (−Y) axis direction. When the direction of the first outercoil part 343 a is changed from the negative Y (−Y) axis direction fromthe positive X (X) axis direction, the direction of the first outer coilpart 343 a may be changed with a predetermined curvature. In addition,the second outer coil part 343 b may extend from the terminated point ofthe first outer coil part 343 a to the intersection between the secondouter coil part 343 b and the Y axis.

In addition, the fourth outer coil part 343 dmay extend from the terminated point of the third outer coil part 343 cto the intersection between the fourth outer coil part 343 d and the Yaxis. In other words, the fourth outer coil part 343 d extends inparallel to the Y axis in the positive Y (Y) axis direction from theterminated point of the third outer coil part 343 c, and extends inparallel to the X axis in the positive X (X) axis direction. When thedirection of the fourth outer coil part 343 d is changed from thepositive Y (Y) axis direction to the positive X axis direction, thedirection of the fourth outer coil part 343 d may be changed with apredetermined curvature.

The first outer coil part343 a and the third outer coil part 343 c may be symmetrical to eachother about the origin (0).

Meanwhile, although description has been made regarding that the firstto fourth outer coil parts 343 a, 343 b, 343 c, and 343 d partially havea linear shape and partially have a curved shape with a curvature, theembodiment is not limited thereto. In other words, the whole shape ofthe first to fourth outer coil parts 343 a, 343 b, 343 c, and 343 d mayhave an oval shape or a circular shape. Accordingly, when the firstouter coil part 343 a extends in the positive X (X) axis direction, thedistance between the first outer coil part 343 a and the X axis may begradually decreased. When the first outer coil part 343 a extends in thenegative Y (−Y) axis direction, the distance between the first outercoil part 343 a and the Y axis may be gradually increased. In addition,when the second outer coil part 343 b extends in the negative Y (−Y)axis direction, the distance between the second outer coil part 343 band the Y axis may be gradually decreased. When the second outer coilpart 343 b extends in the negative X (−X) axis direction, the distancebetween the second outer coil part 343 b and the X axis may be graduallyincreased.
